BOA 2026: Fall Travel Planning Starts Here
As an official travel partner of Bands of America, Music Travel Consultants supports ensembles preparing for the fall 2026 BOA competitive season.
With early-season planning underway, now is the perfect time for us to help you ensure better hotel availability, smoother transportation options and a more predictable budget. For directors, boosters and administrators, the goal is simple: keep the focus on the performers while we handle every detail behind the scenes.
Why Programs Trust Music Travel Consultants
When your season involves long days and high expectations, your travel partner matters.
Here’s how we support BOA-bound ensembles year after year:
-
- Proven experience with competitive marching travel
At the 2025 BOA Grand National Championship, the Music Travel family of brands were proud to support 35 bands, including the Grand National Champion, Avon HS (IN). - Travel logistics
Motorcoach and air arrangements that keep equipment and people moving on schedule. - Hotel and security coordination
Properties selected with student safety and rest in mind. - On-the-ground support
MTC Tour Directors communicate updates and troubleshoot surprises so directors do not have to do it alone. - Rehearsal space
We find rehearsal space that supports your performance goals. These options are especially valuable when weather turns cold or wet. - Meals that fit the schedule
We coordinate convenient group meals so bands can fuel up quickly and stay close to the action.
Each of these details adds up to a smoother, calmer experience for students and staff on your biggest performance weekends.
When performance weekend arrives, your focus should be on the field, not on buses, hotels or last-minute logistics.
